Spring skiing at Mt. Hood

Mt. Hood

Mt. Hood is still draped in snow, but the icy grip of winter is slowly relinquishing its hold on Wy'East. Skiing through the slush along Vista Ridge this was apparent, for on every subsequent run down the mountain a few new brown spots would appear beneath the groomed ski trails atop the ridge. I had never been to Mt. Hood, in winter or in summer and I was suitably impressed by the glacier capped volcano.
